Just two weeks removed from a benching in Cleveland and four days after his Bengals debut, the 40-year-old Flacco went 31 of 47 for 342 yards and three touchdowns. He wore out receivers Ja’Marr Chase (16 catches, 161 yards, one touchdown) and Tee Higgins (6-96-1).
Aaron Rodgers and Joe Flacco starred in a rare matchup of 40-year-old quarterbacks. Here's where it ranks among the oldest QB matchups of all time.
Former Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones reached 8,000 receiving yards in his 85th career game, which is currently the record for the fastest to reach that milestone. Jefferson has 7,960 receiving yards through 83 career games, so he only needs 40 yards tonight to get to 8,000 faster than Jones did.

Other starters in their 30s are Prescott (32), Jared Goff (who turned 31 two days ago), Baker Mayfield (30), and Patrick Mahomes (30). (Carson Wentz, the temporary starter in Minnesota, is 32. Kirk Cousins, the backup in Atlanta, is 37.)
The season already appears to be going off the rails for the Texans, who are off to an 0-3 start and sit in last place in the AFC South. Houston should be a better team than this, and Stroud should also be better, as he finished 25 of 38 for 204 yards with a touchdown and two interceptions (66.1 rating) in Sunday's loss to the Jaguars .
